We recently contacted you with an update on an application for an environmental permit, submitted by the London Southend Airport Company Limited. The application is for the discharge of trade effluent, consisting of surface water containing potassium acetate de-icer, to Eastwood Brook and Prittle Brook. The previous communication included a link which provided access to the additional documents which had been received as part of a further information request. Since the release of these documents, we have had some enquiries regarding the content of both the original information request and also the subsequent correspondence with the applicant. For your convenience, these documents can now be viewed below this text.
As outlined in our previous e-mail, we will contact you again when we receive a full response from the applicant and at that point it is hoped that we will be able to move forward with the determination of the permit.3 July Schedule 5 NoticeCopy of email sent to Southend Aiport

Following a review of the documents provided we have requested further information from the applicant, particularly with respect to the WFD Assessment and modelling, to better understand the environmental risk associated with the discharge.
